Anytime front camera on after market head unit

I have a 2016 SR Tacoma and added an after-market head unit to the truck. The factory backup camera works fine, but I like to add a front camera with the switch. I wondered if anyone has used this kit or had any experience doing so.

The kit you linked states, "The harnesses will plug directly into the back of your factory in-dash screen with no cutting or modification to the factory wires required". If you intend to use this one, you will need to splice wires on your own to get it to work. I am of no help on that regard, however. Do you have a wiring diagram of your aftermarket head unit?

 

I sadly don't have a wiring diagram for my aftermarket head unit, but it came with the connections needed to make everything work. For example, my steering wheel controls and the factory backup camera. So I'm not sure what to do.

These videos got me somewhere with my research because she has done the same kit with a different factory head unit than mine. But then in the second video has an after-market one and still has the front camera. So I don't know.

 

I know that stinger has the capability for programming like 4-6 cameras and will have designated hook up spots I imagine. Chloe is also some sort of engineer for work and enjoys making wiring diagrams IIRC. Anyway, the only way for this kit and the aftermarket ones to work, would be to understand the kit's diagram that it is using to "jump" the signal and then using the diagram for yours to splice them in.

I am sure if you google your aftermarket head unit you can find a manual/diagram. I am also sure the anytime wiring diagram can be found on other threads here on TW.

Good luck!

 

If the aftermarket head unit was "plug & play" you should have the required connectors to add the ABC harness.

 

Kenwood DMX1057XR has it with the option to install 3 views and there is no switch needed. Just push camera button under the screen and choose front rear or whatever view you chose for your 3rd camera angle

 

I would stay away from the anytime back up camera brand. They sold me a broken unit and ghosted me when I tried to contact them with my issues. Wouldn't return any emails or phone calls. Clearly a company that doesn't stand behind d their products or customers. I ended up going with the germes labs camera system and couldn't be happier. Easy instal and uses the steering wheel to control the cameras.

 

I also contacted "Anytime Back Up" by phone and had no problems getting them to replace what I damaged in my installation. OP give them a call and tell them what you have and what you want to do. They may have experience with your unit, they may not. Post #5 gives me good vibes that it can work out. It is a very simple system, get the upgraded camera.
